Star Ocean: Blue Sphere – Developer Interview (Patreon)

http://shmuplations.com/bluesphere/

Star Ocean: Blue Sphere has never officially been released in the West, but this lengthy, candid interview with the young tri-Ace team offers some nice insight into how it was made. While a complete French fan translation apparently exists, there doesn’t seem to be a way to play it in English yet. Nonetheless, for fans of the other Star Ocean games, including Star Ocean: Second Story, this is a fascinating look at a (for now, at least) lost gem.
